This is partly why INFJs are so idealistic. The personality types with an NF in them are referred to as the idealist for good reason. They can anticipate what’s going to happen, and they are seldom content with reality as it is. They want the best possible future, and, as a result, they’re often unhappy with their present circumstances. INFJs are usually happier with working toward a desired goal. They need to see that they’re making progress every day toward a better future, and when they’re not, they can grow discouraged.
